First Look at Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander for Fincher’s Dragon Tattoo

Posted by in Book, Film, News, Thriller | 4 comments

Here is a quick look at Roony Mara (news on her casting here) practicing her motorbike riding skills for the US remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. David Fincher is directing it.

The remake is being filmed in Sweden with Daniel Craig as the lead character.

Does anyone actually want an English language version of the film considering the Swedish version was made last year?

    I think the thought process more or less goes: “Book was popular. Film was in a foreign language. We can make money selling an English-language one to Americans.”

    Though with Fincher involved it’s surely more than just a thoughtless cash-in.

    I thought the film, acting and so forth. was great in the Swedish version. I am apparently in the minority in thinking the whole plot to be ridiculous. (Not interested in the novels in the slightest.)

    That being so, no, I don’t look forward to an english version. I am sure it will be decent, though, in its own respect; and it will be a smash.

    Btw, I was annoyed by the often-poor translation of the dubbing in the film. I thought some of the dialogue was rather poignant and was not well translated. Had to take the opportunity to vent that!

    (This was a Swedish story, after all. We may be a very globalized culture, but there are still idiosyncracies of language which shape our perceptions of the world and vice versa, und so weder…)

    What is with Remakes? I don’t get it especially after such a short time from the original release… Studio Money grab crap!

    How awesome was REC and how much garbage was Quarantine?
